I run a comb through my hair and step out in the street And the city's the color of flame in the mid-summer heat, oh yeah Jennifer's got her daddy's car, she's playing "Uptown" on the stereo We go cruisin' so close, the way they did long ago My darlin' Turn the radio up for that sweet sound Hold me close, never let me go (Keep) Keep this feelin' alive Make me lose control Baby, baby (When) When I look in your eyes, I go crazy Fever's high with the lights down low (So take) Take me over the edge Make me lose control We put the top down and park with the moon in the sky And the wind is so hot in our hair, like a fire in July, oh yeah Jennifer's singin' "Stand by Me" and she knows every single word by heart Was love always this good, or could this be just the start? Oh darlin' Turn the radio up for that sweet sound Hold me close, never let me go (Keep) Keep this feelin' alive Make me lose control Baby, baby (When) When I look in your eyes, I go crazy Fever's high with the lights down low (So take) Take me over the edge Make me lose control Keep my baby clothes on, and were movin' in time And the heat from your touch, makes me feel like I'm losing my mind, oh yeah (And then they played) Back in my arms again (We close our eyes) We start rememberin' when (We start to kiss) And all the feelings return And we just pray that this night never ends Oh, my darlin' (Turn) Turn the radio up for that sweet sound Hold me close, never let me go Keep this feelin' alive make me lose control Baby When I look in your eyes, I go crazy Fever's high with the lights down low (So take) Take me over the edge Make me lose control Baby, baby Turn the radio up for that sweet sound Hold me close, never let me go (Keep) Keep this feelin' alive make me lose control When I look in your eyes, I go crazy Fever's high with the lights down low (So take) Take me over the edge make me lose control Baby, baby Turn the radio up for that sweet sound Hold me close, never let me go (Keep) Keep this feelin' alive Make me lose control
